Jeremiah 10
1 Hear ye the word which the Lord hath spoken concerning you, O house of Israel.
Eh libota ya Isalaele, yoka liloba oyo Yawe azali koloba na yo!
2 Thus saith the Lord: Learn not according to the ways of the Gentiles: and be not afraid of the signs of heaven, which the heathens fear:
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Kolanda bizaleli ya bikolo ya bapaya te mpe kobanga bilembo ya likolo te ata soki ezali kobangisa bato ya bikolo.
3 For the laws of the people are vain: for the works of the hand of the workman hath cut a tree out of the forest with an axe.
Pamba te bizaleli ya bikolo ya bapaya ezali se pamba, banzambe na bango ezali se banzete ya pamba oyo bakataka kati na zamba, bongo moto ya misala ya maboko nde abongisaka yango na bambeli na ye.
4 He hath decked it with silver and gold: he hath put it together with nails and hammers, that it may not fall asunder.
Bapakolaka yango palata mpe wolo, babetaka yango basete na marto mpo ete eningana te.
5 They are framed after the likeness of a palm tree, and shall not speak: they must be carried to be removed, because they cannot go. Therefore, fear them not, for they can neither do evil nor good.
Banzambe yango ya bikeko ezali lokola bikeko oyo batiaka na elanga ya bapasiteki mpo na kokimisa bandeke: elobaka te, bamemaka yango mpo ete etambolaka te. Kobanga yango te, pamba te ekokaka kosala bato mabe to malamu te. »
6 There is none like to thee, O Lord: thou art great and great is thy name in might.
Eh Yawe, moko te akokani na Yo! Ozali monene, mpe Kombo na Yo ezali na nguya monene.
7 Who shall fear thee, O king of nations? for thine is the glory: among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms there is none like unto thee.
Oh Mokonzi ya bikolo, nani akoki koboya kotosa Yo? Obongi na lokumu, pamba te moko te azali lokola Yo kati na bato nyonso ya bwanya ya bikolo mpe kati na mikili na bango nyonso.
8 They shall all proved together to be senseless and foolish: the doctrine of their vanity is wood.
Bango nyonso bazangi mayele mpe bazali bazoba; mateya na bango ezalaka ya pamba, mpe banzambe na bango ezalaka se banzete ya pamba!
9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tharsis, and gold from Ophaz: the work of the artificer, and of the hand of the coppersmith: violet and purple is their clothing: all these things are the work of artificers.
Bapakola yango palata balekisa na moto, oyo ewuta na Tarsisi, mpe wolo oyo ewuta na Ufazi; bato oyo basalaka bililingi na banzete mpe ba-oyo balambaka bibende na moto nde basalaka yango: balatisaka yango bilamba ya langi ya ble mpe ya motane; ezali misala ya bato oyo basalaka misala ya maboko, oyo bayebi penza mosala malamu.
10 But the Lord is the true God: he is the living God, and the everlasting king, at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his threatening.
Kasi Yawe azali Nzambe ya solo, Nzambe na bomoi mpe Mokonzi ya seko. Soki asiliki, mokili eninganaka, bikolo ekokoka te kotelema liboso ya kanda na Ye.
11 Thus then shall you say to them: The gods that have not made heaven and earth, let them perish from the earth, and from among those places that are under heaven.
Tala maloba oyo bokoloba na bango: « Banzambe oyo esala te likolo mpe mabele ekolimwa na mabele mpe na se ya likolo. »
12 He that maketh the earth by his power, that prepareth the world by his wisdom, and stretcheth out the heavens by his knowledge.
Kasi Yawe asala mabele na nguya na Ye, alendisa mokili na bwanya na Ye mpe atanda likolo na mayele na Ye.
13 At his voice he giveth a multitude of waters in the heaven, and lifteth up the clouds from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings for rain, and bringeth for the wind out of his treasures.
Tango agangaka, mayi etiaka makelele makasi kuna na likolo, asangisaka mapata wuta na basuka ya mokili, apelisaka mikalikali, anokisaka mvula mpe abimisaka mopepe wuta na bibombelo na Ye.
14 Every man is become a fool for knowledge every artist is confounded in his graven idol: for what he hath cast is false, and there is no spirit in them.
Bato nyonso bakomaka lokola bazoba, lokola bato oyo basili mayele; monyangwisi bibende na moto atikalaka na soni likolo na bikeko na ye, pamba te bikeko na ye ezalaka na yango biloko ya lokuta, ezalaka na pema te kati na yango.
15 They are vain things and a ridiculous work: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Ezali biloko ya pamba, biloko ya kotiola; ekolimwa na tango ya kosambisama.
16 The portion of Jacob is not like these: for it is he who formed all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name.
Kasi Ye oyo azali libula ya Jakobi akokani na bikeko wana te, pamba te azali Mokeli ya biloko nyonso, ezala ata Isalaele, ekolo oyo ezali libula na Ye; Kombo na Ye ezali Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
17 Gather up thy shame out of the land, thou that dwellest in a siege.
Yo ekolo oyo bazingeli, kamata bisaka na yo mpe bima na mokili!
18 For thus saith the Lord: Behold I will cast away far off the inhabitants of the land at this time: and I will afflict them, so that they may be found.
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Ya mbala oyo, nakobengana bavandi ya mokili oyo mpe nakotindela bango pasi mpo ete bakanga bango. »
19 Woe is me for my destruction, my wound is very grievous. But I said: Truly this is my own evil, and I will bear it.
Mawa na ngai, pamba te nazoki makasi na motema! Pota na ngai ezali kosila te! Namilobelaki: « Ezali pasi na ngai moko, esengeli na ngai kokanga motema. »
20 My tabernacle is laid waste, all my cords are broken: my children are gone out from me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
Ndako na ngai ya kapo ebebisami, basinga na yango nyonso ekatani, bamemi bana na ngai ya mibali, natikali lisusu ata na mwana moko te. Nazali lisusu na moto ata moko te oyo akotelemisela ngai ndako ya kapo to akobongisela ngai esika ya kovanda.
21 Because the pastors have done foolishly, and have not sought the Lord: therefore have they not understood, and all their flock is scattered.
Pamba te bakambi bazangaki mayele, balukaki Yawe te; yango wana, balongaki te, mpe bato nyonso oyo bango bazalaki kokamba bapanzanaki.
22 Behold the sound of a noise cometh, a great commotion out of the land of the north: to make the cities of Juda a desert, and a dwelling for dragons.
Boyoka! Makelele moko ezali koya, lokito moko ya makasi ewuti na mokili ya nor, ekosilisa bato kati na bingumba ya Yuda mpe ekokomisa yango bandako ya mbwa ya zamba.
23 I know, O Lord, that the way of a man is not his: neither is it in a man to walk, and to direct his steps.
Oh Yawe, nayebi ete moto moko te azali mokonzi ya bomoi na ye; moto oyo azali kotambola azali na bokonzi te ya kokamba matambe na ye.
24 Correct me, O Lord, but yet with judgement: and not in fury, lest thou bring me to nothing.
Oh Yawe, pesa biso etumbu oyo ekoki na biso; kasi kopesa yango na kanda te, noki te okosilisa koboma biso.
25 Pour out thy indignation upon the nations that have not known thee, and upon the provinces that have not called upon thy name: because they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have destroyed his glory.
Sopa kanda na Yo likolo ya bikolo ya bapaya oyo endimaka Yo te, likolo ya bato oyo babelelaka Kombo na Yo te, pamba te babebisi Jakobi, babebisi ye mobimba mpe bapanzi mokili na ye.
